Milwaukee!!!

Wed. Aug. 29, 2012.  We left Port Washington just after 10am for the 26 mile run to Milwaukee, where we plan to stay for two nights.  The wave action was largely from the beam so the ride was a little uncomfortable.  We will meet with Paul the former owner to go over the integration of electronics.

Upon arrival we were hungry so we climbed the stairs and ramp up the bluff to Brady Street, a mixture of tattoo parlors, used clothing shops, delis, and bars reminiscent of the Delmar Loop in St Louis.  I think it must really come to life after dark.  Had some great sandwiches from an authentic Italian deli.

We noticed the "green line" bus went down Brady Street on it's way to the Milwaukee Billy Mitchell Airport where our car was parked by Susan, Sally's sister, about a week ago.  Can't beat the $2.25 per person fare in lieu of a $20+ cab ride.  We enjoyed the folks on the bus, and observed their tattoos, piercings, infirmities, etc.  The car was in Lot A as Susan said it would be.

Cleaning the boat and shopping is the order of the day (plus a little relaxing) as Sally leaves tomorrow Thursday morning to drive home.  Bob and I will go to Racine tomorrow.

This afternoon Paul Roys the previous owner of SaSea Sally who lives in Milwaukee is coming this afternoon to explain the interaction of some of the navigation electronics.  Tonight, we will go out with some of Bob's Milwaukee relatives.
